[Bug 1897185] Re: login triggers suspend after update

[Tim Wetzel]

This morning, this bug affected a second machine here. Updater ran on
Oct 1. This is the same machine that started having ACPI errors after
the boot hanging when docked with an external display (#1872159). These
problems seem to be interrelated: #1872159, 1835660, 1897185. And as
stability deteriorates and you try to reinstall, you get bug #1871268.
Bad and getting worse.

Title:
  login triggers suspend after update

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 20.04's software updater just applied quite a few updates
  affecting grub and nvidia. The modules should show in the report just
  submitted. Also, updates to initramfs had just installed a few days
  ago. Kudos in that these updates fixed two login/startup issues: I'd
  been affected by the compression change for initramfs and had started
  getting the spinning ubuntu circle on the logon splash screen,
  apparently due to an nvidia driver conflict. I'd turned the splash
  screen to nosplash, and have now been able to set it back to splash.
  Both of those issues now appear to be fixed.

  BUT now when I start Ubuntu with the T570 laptop docked, lid closed,
  external display and keyboard via the dock: as soon as I enter the
  login password and press enter, the system goes into suspend. If I
  then press the dock power button again, the system will resume and
  proceed normally.

  It seems that the new startup modules don't realize that the machine
  is docked; and/or that it erroneously now "detects" the closed lid as
  a change in lid state during startup, triggering suspend. Prior to
  today's updates, this was not an issue.

  I would appreciate seeing this corrected. Thank you.
